Required Records and Health Forms

All  新澳门六合彩开奖结果 admitted students are required to submit proof of required immunizations and screenings to SLU's Student Health Center using the online vaccination portal.

Updated information may be required from current students to keep their records up to date while they are on campus.

Deadlines for Submission to the Portal

  • Fall enrollment: Aug. 1
  • Spring enrollment: Jan. 1
  • Summer enrollment: May 1

If we receive a partial immunization record or one of the required immunizations is outdated, we will send a notification to your SLU email address.

A registration hold will be placed on your account if we do not receive your complete immunization records showing you are up to date on all requirements. The hold will be released once we have documentation that you have met immunization and screening requirements.

What Is Required For Compliance?

Step 1: Locate Vaccine Records for Required Immunizations and Screenings

Most of the vaccines required by SLU are vaccines you probably received as part of your routine childhood immunizations. Contacting your primary care physician, looking in an electronic medical record (for example MyChart), or through baby books or family files are all strategies for locating your childhood records.

If you are having trouble locating your records, contact Student Health and they can help you.

Step 2: Access the Vaccine Portal through MySLU and read the instructions page.

The vaccine portal can be found through your or by navigating to .

The instructions page in the vaccine portal is a great resource. Be sure to read the instructions completely before moving forward in the portal.

Step 3: Complete Required Vaccination Forms

Enter and submit the required vaccines on the required vaccines page in the vaccination portal.

Upload a PDF copy of your vaccine records in the vaccination portal by selecting 鈥淯pload Files鈥 at the bottom of the required vaccines page.

  • A physical record of past vaccines is preferred but not required for compliance but can aid Student Health鈥檚 review of your records.
Step 4: Complete Tuberculosis Screening Questionnaire

You may be required to complete further tuberculosis screening depending on the results of your questionnaire.

  • If you require further screening, please contact Student Health (314-977-2323) or your primary provider to schedule the appropriate tuberculosis test.
Step 5: Sign and Submit Your Records

Be sure to attest to the accuracy of your records and complete your submission with your signature and the date on the last page of the portal.

If there are any issues with your records after submitting, feel free to go back and edit. Your records will be visible and available to you in the Vaccine Portal throughout your entire time at SLU. Feel free to come back to the Vaccine Portal to update records, or retrieve information for any clinical or community placements during your time at the University.

Meningitis Requirement for Students Living on Campus

If you will be living on campus, you are required to complete the meningococcal quadrivalent vaccination series and submit proof of vaccination via the online vaccination portal linked above.

If you are unable to receive the meningitis vaccination, the portal will provide an option to fill out a waiver indicating that you have reviewed the risks and information and have made the decision not to have the vaccination.

More Information About Meningitis Quadrivalent (A, C, Y, W-135)

Vaccination Schedule

  • Initial dose of conjugate vaccine: 11-12 yrs of age
  • Booster dose: 16 yrs of age
  • Initial dose given age 13-15 yrs: booster dose at 16-18 yrs of age
  • Initial dose given age 鈮16 yrs, no booster dose required

There are two types of meningococcal vaccine, meningococcal ACWY vaccine (MenACWY) which includes Menactra and Menveo, and serogroup B meningococcal vaccine (MenB) which includes Bexsero and Trumenba. The CDC recommends the MenACWY vaccine for first-year college students living in residence halls. This is the vaccine we require. We offer the MenACWY and MenB vaccines at Student Health and recommend speaking with your physician about both vaccines before coming to SLU.

Per Missouri state law, the MenACWY vaccine should be given not more than five years prior to enrollment. If the initial meningitis series was given prior to age 16, a booster dose should be given.

Who Should Be Vaccinated?

Adolescents 11-18 years of age and other populations at increased risk, including college students living in residence halls/similar housing, etc., persons with persistent complement deficiencies or asplenia, laboratory personnel with exposure to aerosolized meningococci, and travelers to hyperendemic or endemic areas of the world. Non-freshmen college students may choose to be vaccinated to reduce their risk of meningococcal disease.


Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis

All students engaged in coursework on SLU鈥檚 campus are required to submit records of up-to-date tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis vaccination. In order to be considered compliant, students must have received a booster dose within the past 10 years. If your booster dose becomes outdated during your time at SLU, we will contact you about getting an updated booster dose at the Student Health Center or another healthcare provider.

More Information About Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis
  • TDaP is a vaccine that protects against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis. Other similar vaccines that cover some or all of these diseases include DT (diphtheria and tetanus), Td (tetanus only), and Dtap (diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis vaccine for children). Typically, TDaP is given as booster doses after the primary series is completed during childhood. A booster dose of tetanus vaccine is usually given every ten years and sometimes sooner.

  • All students are required to have had a TDaP dose within the past ten (10) years. TDaP immunization is recommended for employees.

Vaccination Schedule

Primary series in childhood (4 doses: DT, DTaP, DTP, or Td)

Booster doses: For adolescents 11鈥18 and adults 19鈥64: single dose of Tdap. Tdap can be administered regardless of interval since the last tetanus or diphtheria toxoid-containing vaccine.

Routine booster dose intervals: Adults should receive Td boosters at 10-year intervals, beginning 10 years after receiving Tdap.

Measles, Mumps and Rubella

All students engaged in coursework on SLU鈥檚 campus are required to submit records of complete measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccination. If you do not have proof of MMR vaccination, titers can be used in place of proof of vaccination to fulfill the vaccination requirement.

More Information about Measles, Mumps, Rubella
  • MMR is a vaccine series that protects against the diseases measles (rubeola), mumps, and rubella (German measles). Each of these diseases cause fevers and other flu-like symptoms. In addition, measles and rubella have trademark rashes, while mumps causes swollen and tender salivary glands. Each disease is very contagious and can spread easily between those living in close quarters.

Who Should Be Vaccinated?

  • All college students born after 1956 without lab evidence of disease.
  • All health care professional students without other evidence of immunity should receive two doses of MMR.
  • Those born before 1957 without other evidence of immunity should receive one dose if not in an outbreak setting and two doses if in an outbreak.

Varicella

All students engaged in coursework on SLU鈥檚 campus are required to submit records of complete Varicella (Chickenpox) vaccination. If you do not have proof of Varicella vaccination, titers can be used in place of proof of vaccination to fulfill the vaccination requirement.

If you have been diagnosed with chickenpox and do not have proof of a completed Varicella vaccine series, a document from your physician detailing your past diagnoses may fulfill the vaccination requirement if accompanied by laboratory evidence of immunity (i.e., a titer).

More Information about Varicella
  • Varicella, also known as chickenpox, is typically a mild disease in children known for its itchy 鈥減ox鈥 rash. Chickenpox passes easily from person to person and it is best to be vaccinated to prevent infection.

  • For all students born after 1980, SLU requires two (2) doses of varicella-containing vaccine separated by at least one month OR laboratory evidence of immunity due to history of disease or immunization (i.e., a titer).

  • Varicella vaccines can also be given in combination with MMR (in a vaccine called MMRV), which is acceptable for compliance for both MMR and Varicella vaccine types. Varicella immunization is recommended for employees.

Vaccination Schedule

  • Two doses of varicella-containing vaccine at least 12 weeks apart if vaccinated between 1 and 12 years of age and at least
  • Four weeks apart if vaccinated at age 13 years or older.

Recommended Immunizations

SLU does not require the following immunizations, but we encourage you to obtain these vaccinations to protect your own health and the well-being of our campus community. Note that some sites at which students complete clinicals may require a number of these immunizations. Read below for more details.

Influenza
  • The influenza vaccine is administered yearly to protect against the flu. The flu is highly infectious and can cause severe illness or death to those who are older, have underlying health conditions, or are immunocompromised. Vaccination protects you as well as those around you. Individuals should get vaccinated each Fall when the new vaccine is released.

  • SLU does not require the flu vaccine for all students, but many programs, institutions, and volunteer sites may require the vaccine. Students and employees in certain health professions programs at SLU may be required to be vaccinated prior to their clinical assignments. The flu vaccine is highly recommended for everyone at SLU. Talk with Student Health to see if this vaccine is right for you.

COVID-19
  • The COVID-19 vaccine is currently not required at SLU. This vaccine is highly effective at preventing severe disease, hospitalization and death due to COVID-19 infection.
